i only play this on xbox really, but i have it on steam too... but i think this may be a move to possibly give the game away on EPIC store, thuis bringing in people who somehow havent bought the game yet, on Pc atleast, then hope to sell them stuff.. but then if they ever do a sequel to Rocket League it may well be EPIC store exclusive methinks.. on Pc at least...

While I'm not a Rocket League player so doesn't effect me what I do fear is that at some point someone like Google, Epic or Amazon is going to buy someone like UBI Soft or Take 2 Interactive someone like that (both have been takeover targets many times) and that would be more upsetting.

I'm excited for this. I think Epic can provide Psyonix the funding to rapidly expand the eSports scene while still maintaining creative control. Awesome!

I don't have the game so I don't have a horse in this race but given Epic's latest track record of buying exclusives I'm not holding my breath. Vague terms like "uncertain future" does not bode well. Even MS knew not to pull Minecraft from other storefronts, can we say that Epic knows better than to completely pull it from Steam? My gut says no, no they do not.

RIP to Rocket League, it was fun while it lasted. With any big company takeover it spells doom for the game. Epic will milk it even more and put every new update behind some sort of paywall until the user base declines.

Rocket League already kinda sucks as it is. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a fun game, but the crates you unlock in the online can only be opened with keys which require real money to purchase, so... not really sure how it can get much worse?
